Geeklog Forums

HI I can't seem to understand how to include the usersystem in Geeklog to new pages, which I need to create myself. Pages like f.ex. submit.php, which checks to see if there's a logged in user at the other end. Can somebody tell me how this is included!??

It's actually quite easy. First of all, you need to include('lib-common.php'); If you do that, you have access to the $_USER array, which contains the user name and ID (amongst other things). If you need the additional security for the admin area, you should also include('auth.inc.php'); This lets you check if e.g. the current user has the rights to edit stories, like this: if (!SEC_hasRights('story.edit')) { echo "You can't edit stories!"; } Have a good look at the code that's already there. With the information from above, it should be quite obvious how all this works. bye, Dirk

Thanx man! You're right - it's in fact very easy I just had to have a startingpoint...
